Lit Apropos of Nothing - ACKBAR IN CAPITALS - The Lit Forum Social Thread, v2.0.15

I'm a foreign no-good supporter of welfare states and I have background in a military force that is not part of NATO. That is why I must say that I have never had any contact with Jello.

Just quote that if someone asks. You are welcome.

 

Don't you just love it when you find a song that won't allow you to stop listening to it until you hate it and never want to hear it again?

 

All the time, minus the hate part. Right now that song is American Pie for me.

 

Yeah, if the song's good enough I never actually come to hate it. It's just always a bummer when it gets to the point where listening to it no longer has you spell bound . I'm more of an album person, but I will occasionally loop one particular track I like.

A recent example is Lazarus by Porcupine Tree. I can't comprehend how that hasn't become a hit (well, I can actually, but let's not go into that). Could listen to it for hours at a time. Still good, but lost that effect.

Current one I'm blowing out: Vapour Trail. That guitar riff should be a legal substitute for crack.

 

Come on, id, we all know you're listening to Call Me Maybe.

 

Y'know, as much as this may ruin my pretentious hipster image I've so carefully crafted, I honestly don't hate that song. Well, I didn't the first two hundred or so times I heard it. Still, it's actually fairly decent as far as pop goes. Much better than the average Top 40 tripe, at least.

However, if you want to see me go all Hulk Smash on nearby pedestrians, just play Moves Like Jagger. Or any Maroon 5. Words cannot express how much I hate that band. I'm not the type of person who hates an artist personally based on not enjoying their work... but, well, you wouldn't find me crying if someone decided to bury them alive in New Mexico.

 

Just think of Moves Like Jagger. Assuming your ears are working correctly, your anger will completely disappear... only to be replaced by a much more powerful wave of anger.

Actually, you know what, **** Moves Like Jagger. "Stupid Ho" by Nicki Minaj is easily the most offensive, manufactured piece of garbage to ever become popular on the airwaves. I won't give it even more undeserved attention by linking it.

 

I would love to see a reaction video of you watching the Stupid Ho video. I think your head might explode on camera. It truly is one of the most awful things ever produced.

 

The trick to a song like Call Me Maybe is to not actually listen to the radio ever. As popular as it is, you'll still hear it around from time to time, but not every 40 minutes. If it's a good enough song, eventually it'll jump out at you through its own merit instead of being drilled into your skull.

 

What sane person listens to the radio? Satellite radio I can understand, but the radio? Even I'm not quite that masochistic. Two words: Auxiliary port

I despise my local rock station as well, since they have some strange fixation with Avenged Sevenfold.

 

On this subject: I read a statistic about a week ago that said 65% of people found new music primarily through the radio. That made me want to paint all my windows black and just hide from society for awhile.

 

Solution: don't go to bars, clubs, or lounges.

 

Not goes to bars?

Does not compute. Does not compute. Does not....... (boom)

--Adm. Nick

 

Who doesn't?

 

I do all my socializing at... schools?

I have gone to bars but I leave them early. I don't like their atmosphere and feel like going to sleep would be much more fun. I have sung karaoke but I was sober at the time. Can't we just visit a library or some other place where we don't have to talk loudly?

 

We did. Until an alien spaceship crash-landed on it.
